what would happen is, they pick 18 people from the "main room" where we are all put between cases... then when we get to the court room, they pick 12 of us, and the 6 go back to the main room

From what i heard, no

I heard they sent missinformation to his lawyer so he couldnt help Tommy

that's what happens here too

except lawyers can choose to NOT have someone based on some attribute or if the juror is found to not be impartial due to some reason they can be removed

then backups come in, so that there are always 12 total

but they can't PICK who they want, and they can't keep cycling until they like everyone on the jury, but they have some leeway, on the prosecution and defence

also, it doesn't matter

Tommy was a journalist, covering something the the media wasn't... and he got arrested

yes he broke whatever shit law it was

yeah they can choose to remove someone but I think theres some speicial request they have to go through or something

but still shit law and yall should be really upset right now

also this is disturbing if true

basically judge knew TR would be in danger, but didn't care... "so what"

yeah i saw that... its slightly out of context but was stupid to say

Enforcing that law in that case is ilegitimate

because 1: There was no reason why the public should not know that the grooming happened

and 2: I dont think Tommy was informed of this

hes saying he doesnt care because he will be in protective custody the whole time

"you could be put into protective custody"

What’s the difference between all the journalists outside the court when count dankula was being tried and the grooming gang case?

not that he would

I'd understand a gag law being enforced in a critical matter

like an inminent terrorist attack or something

I think the blackout was that there were so many defendants that they couldn't try them all at once and didn't want the outcome of the first trial affecting the second one

hence the blackout

but still, how would TR know he couldn't do what he did

he was media

he was covering an event

and he got arrested

prior record/shit be damned

If he had been informed he wouldnt be in jail

he knew, because thats what he was arrested for in the first place

right

I get that

I dont think he knew

he is not stupid

if he knew he wouldnt have reported on it

and I concede he probably did break whatever shit law / command / whatever, but it's still wrong

maybe the first time... but not the second
